When any garment type fits too snug on an area of the body it accentuates that area. Not only can this be uncomfortable but it isn’t the most flattering fit. One of the main struggles for women with thick legs is shorts fitting too snuggly around the thigh area. Just like the jeans which come in different leg shape, shorts also have different leg opening. The reason is skorts offer a lot of coverage for your hips and thighs, and that can visually camouflage your thicker thighs and legs. The good news is you can also wear skorts for everyday style (like this one I’m wearing), and they are quite flattering for women with thicker legs. You probably have seen them on the tennis court, as they are a popular outfit for playing tennis. Skorts, like the name suggests, is a combination of skirt and shorts.

That is why pleated shorts (like this one I’m wearing) can be quite flattering on women with thicker thighs. Whether or not that is the case, you are better off with shorts that offer plenty of space on the hips and thigh are. If you have thicker legs, oftentimes you may also have wider hips. Make sure the length rests either right above or right below the thickest part of your thigh. There is one major rule of thumb when selecting the perfect length of shorts. On the flip side, when shorts rest above or below that area it takes some of the attention away from thicker legs subtly. The eye is drawn to wherever the shorts cut off on the body, so if they rest right at the widest part of the thigh that is the area that becomes more of the focus.
